I'm really sorry, but I was in a hurry, so I had to get it working no
matter what.
The problem came after and apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade run.
When I did apt-get remove tetex-base tetex-bin ; apt-get install
tetex-base tetex-bin i didn't fix anything.
I then did a apt-get --purge remove tetex-base tetex-bin and now my
latex installation is back to a working setup.
Unfortiunatly I can't help with output as I have already solve _my_
problem (had to), but bascally it seems that the tetex packages has a
/have had a problem when dealing with an upgrade.
